Thank You

 

Rick & Robin Drown in Hawaii


Thanks are extended to all the people in the Northwood community and beyond who contributed to the Hawaii trip for the Drowns and made this very special vacation possible.


In Rick and Robin’s words: “We would like to thank all family, friends and corporate individuals that contributed to our Maui trip. The weather was beautiful – 70’s and 80’s every day. We went to the Maui Ocean Center, drove the winding road up the mountain to the little town of Hana, saw the Drums Pacific Luau with beautiful entertainment and food, went on a 1 hour helicopter ride and most rewarding we renewed our wedding vows of 32 years on the beach of Maui. This trip would not have been possible without your concern and gift. We want to thank you all again. It will be a trip we will both never forget.”

 


 

Foundation For Christmas (Part I)


By Pastor Ted White
Another Christmas (celebration of Christ) is upon us. Let’s take a few moments this week to focus on a statement that was made to Joseph in Matthew 1:21 where the angel says to Joseph, “You shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.” This is a major theme surrounding the birth of Jesus Christ. He is the greatest gift ever to be offered. We will look briefly the next few weeks at a foundational sketch the Lord has prepared for us to consider. It includes bad news and good news.


Picture if you would, the stone tablets of the 10 Commandments. How many people in the world have broken these commandments? If you said all people, you are right. It doesn’t take too long to see that we all have broken His commands. For instance, have you ever lied… even just a small one or not told the whole truth? You see, if doesn’t take long to see we have all broken the 10 Commandments of God.


Actually, the 10 Commandments were given to show our need. They show God’s perfection and only He keeps them perfectly. Romans 3:19-23 tells us that the law closes every mouth, that the whole world is guilty before God and that our good works can’t save us. The law gives the knowledge of sin and shows that we are all sinners. You see God’s Word tells us that Jesus would save His people from their sin. Before that can happen, a person needs to admit that he is a sinner. If people do not admit that they are sinners, Jesus cannot save them  -  cannot save them from judgment in hell or save them to an eternal relationship with Him.


In Galatians 3:24 we are told that the law was given to bring us to Christ that by faith in Him, justice has been served on our behalf. We accept the punishment He took for us at the cross. So, the law was given to point us toward the birth of the one who would save us from our sins! Trust Jesus for this! He is the Greatest Gift ever given.


God wants you to enjoy the life He has given you and to escape the consequence of death, which is separation from Him forever, under His wrath in Hell.

CBNA Alumni Basketball Games Draw Spirited Crowd


The annual Coe-Brown Northwood Academy (CBNA) alumni basketball games, traditionally held on the eve of Thanksgiving, were played in front of an audience of 500 current CBNA students, alumni, family and friends. A highlight of the event was the drawing for a movie gift basket, which was donated by Holy Rosary Credit Union. The basket was prepared by Gift Baskets by Your Design of Concord and won by Katrina Canney, class of 2008, a resident of Barrington.


In the girls’ game, which was played first, the alumni beat the current Coe-Brown team by a close score of 46 to 41. The CBNA boys won their game against their alumni opponents, with a final score of 81 to 54. Each year, former CBNA basketball players return to the academy to participate in the alumni game. Proceeds from the event support CBNA’s basketball program.


This year, three sets of brothers played opposite each other in the boys’ game: Stuart ’08 and Skyler ’12 Mitchell; Nate ‘06 and Sam ’10 Bassett; Bret ’06 and Kevin ’09 Grenier. The CBNA boys’ basketball team is coached by Headmaster David S. Smith and the CBNA girls’ basketball team is coached by CBNA guidance counselor Stephen Smith.

The Joy of Dance troupe have been busy this year on and off the dance floor, taking part in Making Strides in October and attending the Nutcracker in December.


The Joy of Dance School located in Northwood would like to extend many warm wishes for a wonderful Holiday Season to everybody.


We are celebrating our 20th year in Northwood and would like to thank all of our present and past students for our great success!


This year has been filled with many warm and wonderful memories. Most recently we participated in the “Making Strides Against Breast Cancer” walk in Dover on October 19th. We were proud to be doing that for our 10th consecutive year. The Joy of Dance Team proudly raised almost $2,000. “Hope starts with us!”


This week we attended a lovely performance of the “Nutcracker” at the Oyster River High School in Durham. The Northeastern Ballet Theatre and Edra Toth’s Academy of Dance and music enchanted us with their performance! This was our twentieth year attending this particular annual field trip and it was the best!


Our teacher, Lindsey Hadley, danced beautifully in Act I, Scene One, “The Party.” We all got snowed on in Act I, Scene Three, “Land of Snow.” What fun! 72 of us attended. ho, ho, ho.
